“He made the semi-finals with a team that has so much room to grow. They went out to a very strong Italian side.

“This team hasn’t fulfilled their potential yet and they still have a lot of room to develop. They were the youngest team at the tournament and now even more young players are coming into the team.”

For the Italy match, Loew switched from his usual 4-2-3-1 formation to a 4-3-3 set-up, and given the result, was criticised heavily.

“It is obvious that some decisions by a coach won’t automatically or always lead to success,” Klinsmann said.

“The coach makes decisions before the game that aren’t arbitrary.

“There is no guarantee for victory.

“This is all part of a footballer or coach’s career. There is no player that doesn’t experience this kind of development. Sometimes you just have to congratulate the better team, that’s a fact of life.”

He is responsible for the format of semi. He even boosted Germany will not take soccer lesson from Italy. His talk is cheap and he underestimated rival. 2014 WC host nation is Brazil. No other continent won trophy in south America before. The honorable way is he leave before his contract expired. He is responsible for his silly mistakes and arrogance. Germany will not reach final in 2014 . Definitely!
